No, don't think either got. AA definitely should get one. CSM might take some more time, tbh. Don't think its big enough to get a popularity poll yet.

I hope AA gets one soon~
Shame, especially given the quirky characters CSm got, all those devilmen would certainly make for a fun popularity poll double page. I can see Violence getting quite a lot of votes despite his minor role he played so far.

I don't keep up with most manga anymore.

You're not following any WSJ series currently?

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Curious if Manga Plus will translate the two mini-series exclusive of the digital version of SJ, Harakiri Gomen looks super cool, the author's art is great.

 

[Brizzi]

So, here's a question I have.

How many of the people here actively follow One Piece? Like, not as a casual read, but as something they make sure to read every week it's out.

I read One Piece since I was 12 (I'm 30 now), and I read it weekly since chapter 309, so it's more than entertainment to me, it's part of my life. I love this series like no other, have reread it some 5 times already, owe all the volumes, etc... I'm a BIG fan (but no the blind type haha)

I assume Viz at least isn't since they already announced Witch's Guardian and the Death Note one-shot (which isn't until Monday) with no word on the mini-series. Sumo, David-kun and I'm From Japan show Manga+ is willing to do WSJ stuff that Viz skips though.

 

[WyldViolet]

Anyone else here remember the USA Shonen Jump?

Oh boy I do. I remember begging my grandma for it every month at the supermarket till she got me a subscription.
So many good memories. I actually started from their first issue. Got me into so many manga.

 

[FireFantasyVI]

Got into One Piece around 2012 after seeing some episode on toonami and started reading the Viz releases. I also started watching the anime at the time (despite not having read everything in between yet) which was around late Punk Hazard. Was caught up and reading weekly around late dressrossa. I've read every chapter weekly since, and still do today. I still can't help but read the early scans, while with every other wsj series I'll wait until sunday for. Even then, OP will be the first thing I read again come sunday.

 

[supercow297]

One piece n' me, timeline
2012: favorite manga
2015: second favorite manga
2017: read every 30 chapters to binge it all
2019: so boring I'll read it at some point
2020: fuck it people said Wano was getting good let's catch up - oh okay they lied

For almost 16 years

Obligatory “Oh god, I really hope this manga is good and if so, successful cause I have high hopes for this one”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this thread have higher hopes for a new manga serialization before.

Man, that page is so nice to look at.

The Yozakura family one had big hopes as well when we got to see its colored double page.

 

[Aipom626]

First page of GotW.

The author can certain make good use of their color pages. I'm thinking this may be the type of series that ends up being too serious or gritty for my tastes, but the color pages are pretty similar in that regard to how I feel about Neverland.

Dr. Stone had ridiculous hype when it was announced.
Ole Golazo did here due to the heavy Moue fanbase here.

[Reading Somethin']

I follow One Piece weekly. Bumped into it back in 2004 I think. Watched one episode of the 4kids dub, couldn't stomach it. Found it again in a 2005 US Jump issue. The one where Sanji broke the crew out of a cage, forgot which arc. I really got into the series last year. Loved the arcs in the second half before the timeskip. Dropped it in the middle of Dressrosa. I caught up again, but I'm not so invested anymore.

Anyone else here remember the USA Shonen Jump?

Yeah, that's how I got introduced to Jump back in 2005. The issue had Slam Dunk, Yuyu Hakusho, Bobobo, Yugioh gx, Ultimo oneshot, and the three pillars of the 2000's. I liked the style in those cartoons and I'm a very curious person. I saw an ad for it at school, and good grades were my best bargaining tool.

Damn, KnY sure is something but whenever I see the numbers SxF sold, I can't help but shake my head how incredible its sales are for such a young series. 500k for Vol.2 and Vol.3 is on its way to it as well. Just damn impressive!
